A rare and extraordinary blend of history and modern living nestled on 2.74 private and bucolic acres. This 4-bedroom antique Colonial is the seamless union of two iconic 18th-century Wilton homes - the 1772 Middlebrook-Morgan Homestead and the 1820 Morehouse-Holmes House - relocated, re-framed, and rebuilt with meticulous attention to detail. Every visible beam is original and structural, preserving rich character while offering contemporary comfort. Highlights include a stunning Chef's Kitchen with a French Billot de Boucher butcher block (c.1880, Bordeaux), mercantile counter (c.1895, Nova Scotia), chestnut island with honed black granite, and divided light windows. The Family Room centers on a beehive oven fireplace, rebuilt stone-by-stone. A luxurious primary suite features a Murano glass chandelier, Rumsford fireplace, and custom quartz vanity in the spacious bath. Other features throughout include 250-year-old exposed timbers, antique chestnut/pine floors, a finished 3rd floor, original Borning Room, new baths/mechanicals/washer/dryer, and, a 6-zone heating & cooling system. Outdoors find a 2-story barn with electricity, a freestanding greenhouse, in-ground Gunite pool with granite decking, beautiful grounds, and a simply stunning 228-year-old Sycamore tree - one of the oldest trees in all of New England. "1 OLD HOUSE + 1 OLD HOUSE = A NEW OLD HOUSE," as storied in This Old House magazine. This property is truly a historic treasure ... reimagined for modern life.
